Do English people really talk that way??

[MrFun]

So I've been reading the comic, The Boys, and I'm really liking it.

This one character, Butcher/Billy, is an English man. When he speaks, he often uses the word "me" in place of "my."

Do English people really talk that way?

[Asher]

Yes. All of them.

[Provost Harrison]

You're getting on me nerves MrFun.

[Dauphin]

It's very common, yes.

Now, where's me dinner?

[ColdWizard]

All englishmen are pirates.

[Sava]

BOLLOCKS!



SANDRA BOLLOCKS!

[MrFun]

It's very common, yes.

Now, where's me dinner?

Typical English person - only thinking of himself.

[Provost Harrison]

I take it that you've never been over here then MrFun?

[MrFun]

No, I haven't - I'd like to someday. As well as visit parts of Germany and Sweden.

[onodera]

I think they're two different characters, MrUnfun. And the guy that looks like Simon Pegg is Scottish.

[Kitschum]

As well as visit parts of Germany and Sweden.

FYI, we don't say "me" for "my". We have a full pronominal inflectional paradigm.

Germany and England are one country, albeit separated by a couple of internecine spats, not Germany and Sweden. Get it right, Funzie.

[onodera]

Where did I say that Sweden and Germany are one country, stupid Russian?

where did I say anything about countries, you bundle of sticks?
